of the other two cylinders are coupled to the
shaft, and the steam sends them flying TO the
end of their stroke, thus keeping the shaft
whiflng, and at the same time showing the
other two pistons, now equally balanced, to
the heads of their cylinders. The second
pair of pistons having completed their stroke,
they are uncoupled, and in turn treated as
the first pair were.
The theory, the yachtsman says, is all
right. But the Intervention of cogs, link
motion, and two cams may make the machine
somewhat cumbersome, and perhaps, slow

dispute, but it is worth trying. the yachtman
thinks, to the extent of the $40 900 which the
trial machine is likely to cost. because if the
steam can be exhausted back into the boiler,
the loss from friction. radiation. etc. will be

has been first in all agitation and legisla'
ton on temperance. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that there are as sincere friends
of temperance in the Republican party as
there were when it first took its stand upon
the matter. Wendell Phillips was an anti
slavery advocate and was one of the fore
most leaders of that party. So also was
William Lloyd Garrison who. although as
earnest in the cause, allied himself with
the Republican party which successfully
accomplished the abolition OF slavery. A
careful perusal of the names affixed to the
anti saloon addresses issued by the Re-
publicans of Massachusetts and New York,
discoses further guarantee of the posi-
ton of the party on the temperance issue,
at present. The only conclusion
that can be drawn concerning this second
reason of the prohbitionists is, that they
are very much mistaken concerning the
position of the republican party on tenn
perance or else they are not sincere in
their professions. 1t is to be hoped that
they are laboring under mistaken idea OF
the attitude of the republican party. If
so, they cannot fail. after the frank and
able addresses lately issued by the repub-
licans. to recognize their error and JON the
party working for the same cause, putting
forth all the energy they possess. These
two reasons tor separate party action are
not sufficient. They are to be termed
mistaken ideas

Two Mistaken Ideas.

The prohibitiouists in giving their
reasons for separate parry action in
temperance reform claim two positions,
which upon examination are lot very
securely held. In the first place, they
urge separate party existence because
the prohibition party is the germ of great
party which in the future is destined to
successfully champion not only the cause
of temperance but other great questions
which affect the welfare of the country.
They make in support of this claim. an
analogy between their party and the old
anti slavery party. upon the ground that
the latter gave partial cause tor the for
nation OF the republican party; however
true this may have been. the analogy is
not permissible. Slavery. the evil which
the anti-slavery party sought to remedy
was local matter. 1t was principally an
institution held and maintained by the
South Its worst features were confined
to the Southern States. The opponents of
this evil were mostly in the North and the
work performed was there also. When
the Northern people were sufficiently edu-
Gated and aroused in the matter by con-
tinued agitation then there was arrayed
section against section. The republican
party came into power and per-
formed in the course of its administration,
the work which the anti slavery
party, which never gained power,
sought to accomplish. Intemperance is
not a local evil. 1t is not sectional 1t is
an evil which is found in every State and
Territory of the Union. Existing in this
manner, it is impossible to array section
against section. The prospects OF form.
ing party which will successfully eradi-
cate it are not very proptious. 1t is a
work to be performed in another way, for
some time. Public sentiment must be
raised to an appreciation of the evil, then
it is possible to place the best men, ire
spective of party, prohibtionists or not, in
official positions who can legisla,e for the
minority which will seek to maintain the
evil. 1t is evident without further dis
elimination that the analogy is not appli-
cable. But the prohibitonists urge a
separate organization upon the ground
that the prohibition party is the only true
advocate of temperance reform. In this
they make their second mistake. 1t must
be remembered that the Republican party

A Queer Steam Engine.
Ii ExHAUsTs BACK INTO THE BOILER In
STEAD OF THE CONDENSER.

A well known yachtsman in New York city
has just signed contract by which he agrees
to furnish the money for building very
novel sort of a steam engine. The inventor
proposes to do no less than construct an
engine which will exhaust back into the
boiler instead of into q condenser or into
open air. He proposes. in other words, that
when the steam has pushed the piston through
the full length of its stroke the piston shall
then push the steam back into the boiler
again, This sounds like the absurd pro-
position to build a perpetual motion machine,
but as the machine Is explained by the in
ventor and the yschtsman, II seems to be
easily possible, and perhaps practical. Be
cause the prscticability of the scheme has
vet to be tested the yachtsmap declines to
allow his name to be used.
The new machine consists of four single
cylinders. placed two on each side of the
shaft to be turned by them. The two cylin-
ders on each side, according to the present
drawings, will be placed horizontally and one
above the other, like the barrels of double
bsrrelled shotgun when the gun is lying on
its side. The pistons in these cylinders are
connected with the shaft in such a way that
the piston in the upper cylinder on one side
works in conjunction with the piston in the
lover cylinder on the opposite side. Steam
being admitted to either pair of cylinders
which thus act together, the pistons are
forced out to the end of their stroke as in any
single-scting engine, and the shaft revolves
half turn. At the instant these pistons
reach the end of stroke they are by means
of cogs, two cams. and q link motion,
uncoupled from the shaft and con-
nected with each other substantially. They
then become, to all intents and purposes. one
piston, with the steam from the boiler press
ing equally on each side, and, Therefore bal
anced. The moment this happens the piston,

Mr. j. r. Dodge. the statistician of the
Agricultural Department of the Govern
ment has been the subject of a hot demand
for his removal from the tobacco specu-
lators whose calculations have been de-
ranged by the wide difference between the
reports of tobacco acreage given by the
Department and gathered by private and
more or less speculative energy. The
real issue raised by such an attack must
be not the accuracy of the Department
figures in the special instance, but the
general success of the WORK carried on by
Commissioner Colman's department under
Mr.. Dodge's immediate direction. No
one, we take it has employed these crop
returns in the daily work of a newspaper
office without being convinced OF their
candor and general accuracy. Coming to
their use with some prejudice against
them, due to the discovery made by the
census of 1880 of the inaccuracy OF some
of the acreage returns on which the De-
partment had depended, we have come to
feel an increasing confidence in Mr..
Dodge's work and in his conclusions. His
monthly reports present the best reports
of the crops accessible anywhere and are
constantly being borne out by ultimate re-
suits, and it would be difficult to discuss
business prospects on any better basis
than guesswork without them. - Times.
